Firecracker Sauce
A bold and versatile sauce that combines sweet, spicy, and umami flavors, perfect for glazing, dipping, or marinating.
Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, add sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar, and optional minced garlic.
Heating the Sauce
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce starts to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Flavor Adjustment
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning: add more Sriracha for extra heat or a pinch of sugar for a sweeter profile, and thin with water if a lighter consistency is desired.
Serving or Storing
- Use the sauce immediately as a glaze for chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Allow it to cool if using as a dipping sauce.

Notes
Store cooled sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave before using. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer; for a thinner sauce, add a splash of water.
